The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Oh, yeah, that's just the demotivation I need.

Wish I had a few of those for the office.

Good Luck on the job front...

On the other hand...this is the first day back to work for me after TheVacation.

I forgot my Windows password. I've already forgotten my new Windows password. I'm sure the IT guys are talking about what a dummy I am.

Heh...

I've seen some pretty interesting places for hiding written down passwords, since we told people not to. Taped under keyboards, inside drawers...even one user who kept a Word document in an easy-to-get-to place with all her passwords. Really secure, that.

He would be absolutely friendless if it weren't for Matthew and although Celeste teaches them that we have no earthly best friend, I don't think that's how Christ intended us to walk through this world.

What an awful thing to teach a child! You think she tells him that because, in truth, he doesn't have many friends? You think she thinks she's making life easier for him?
People is strange, sometimes.

Best of luck with your schoolin! David left groaning because he has a HUGH research paper due in 5 weeks and he still hadn't figured out what the topic will be.

Heh, I get in here and first thing I see is a note from my advisor wanting me to switch classes. I have to check with him about the prereq, but I'll be much happier in a 600 level research course than the databases I was going to take just to fill out my schedule.


Good luck to David! Remind him, anything worth doing is worth doing half-***ed at the last minute.

Chesterton said so...almost.

Momentary tagline change.

Heh...I wouldn't get far with writing and music if I didn't have that attitude! ;-)

Maybe, but after the way she's treated me, I wonder.

Well! I am now taking a totally different class T/Th mornings. Same time, but at The Ugliest Building, which is convenient. My advisor's teaching it and it looks like something that could work well with my thesis. All around, I'm happy.

But now I have to scrape up forty bucks for the textbook... sigh...

I'm stealing it from someone, but it's a good sentiment.

I wonder if my interview will be at The Ugliest Building. (TUB?) Kinda hope so, since it's once place I know how to get to.

I'm studying interview questions. I don't even have coherant answers to the classics like "what are your greatest weaknesses?" Umm...chocolate? That interviews make me nervous?

You should claim your greatest weakness is your job-oriented obsessiveness ;-)

Chocolate works too.

The hardest ones for me are the negative ones.

Like another example is "What did you like least about your last job / employer?" Um...not easy to answer. To begin with, I try not to dwell on such things, so I tend not to remember 'em. And secondly, if there WERE bad things (pay was a big one...) how do you say anything without sounding petty and hypercritical?

I guess I hope that's one that doesn't get asked.

Just say, 'I loved everything about the job but the pay, I had to relocate because I wasn't making enough money'. That's not negative, it shows you're willing to make a proactive lifestyle change (oh, I can use buzzwords!), and since your last job was just like this one, you're implying that you like the work.
